Map of UK potholes and other road defects
The RAC has joined forces with the developers of a free mobile app that captures the location of potholes and other road defects while you drive, so councils know exactly where the problems are that need fixing.

In time, the data collected by drivers will allow anyone to check the condition of roads anywhere in the UK. Here is the latest map – roads marked red are in the worst state, and those in green are in the best state:
